I know things have been quiet around here lately, but it's because we've been so busy between sprucing up the new house and getting ready for New Orleans! There will be so much to share with you in the new year. :)

Today I volunteered in the shop with Michael since he was working. I wore a gown I made last year (and wore on Christmas last year working on the tent project!) but I've never gotten pictures of me wearing it! I have to admit I was very pleased with how my hair turned out. I'm also wearing the gown over my new false bum. It was really nice to be able to work with my husband and friends all together on Christmas!

My Christmas gift from Michael was an 18th century mourning ring with little diamonds set in the eyes of the death's head. I love it. And he totally had me guessing about what I was going to get! He's a pretty good gift-giver...

About the Couture Courtesan:

This blog records my adventures in historical clothing construction and historical reenactment. I reenact Civil War, War of 1812, and Revolutionary War, and was a Maid of Honor in the Queen's Court at the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire.
